I’m No Expert … But I’ve Got Eyes And Can Clearly See The Slide Is Headed For I-82

Note: This is a straight-up opinion piece. I am in no way an expert on the subject.

A Facebook post by the Yakima Valley Office of Emergency Management notes that the most likely scenario with the Rattlesnake Ridge landslide is that the majority of the slide will end up in the quarry (see Facebook post below). They have also mentioned that they aren't too concerned about this slide hitting Interstate 82 or the Yakima River. BUT, they do have an emergency plan in case.

Like I said, I'm no expert, but I've driven past that area numerous times over the last two weeks. I-82 is right there at the base ... and they don't expect it to hit I-82? So basically they are saying that the ENTIRE slide is headed for the quarry. Here's the thing ... I've got two eyes and can clearly see the slide is not headed 100 percent into the quarry.
